FROM USA TODAY AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BEST-SELLING ROMANCE AUTHOR, W WINTERS, COMES A PROVOCATIVE TALE OF A CLUB DESIGNED FOR WEALTHY SINNERS.

IT'S A STORY CRAFTED FOR THOSE OF US WHO CRAVE THE VILLAIN.

I'd have chosen her above all else...if only I could go back.

Even if it meant I never got to kiss her, to love her, to be consumed

by the woman she is and the love she gave me. She deserves more than this...

She deserves more than this dangerous life I lead.

She was never supposed to be involved. She was mine to lust after, to have in the darkest hours of the night, to love in secret even.

The only truth I know now is that it's all my fault and it's all too late.

This can't be how our story ends.

She has no idea how much I love her and I could never live with myself if anything happens to her.

I'll burn the world down if that's what it takes.

I'm never letting her go.

At the wedding, after one glass of champagne, she spontaneously--foolishly--proposes to her longtime friend Luke Rivers. And Luke agrees. The rancher is a man of his word, and though Kate thinks they're making a mistake, he will not renege on his promise. Not only does he refuse to break the engagement, he insists that Kate actually loves him--and he'll prove it.

Eric Vause is done.

Even now, five years later, the rage he absorbed from the creature has yet to wane, so he decides a road trip is in order. Surely some cool air, great scenery, and a case of Dos Equis will shake things loose. Unfortunately, supernatural events happen everywhere. When he meets up with a friend whose partner's daughter needs help with a pest problem-aka, a ghost-Eric takes that as his cue to leave.

Until he sees her.

He can tell Halle's house isn't the only thing that is haunted. The hopelessness behind her eyes tugs at something deep inside him. Something all too familiar. The fact that she's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen has nothing to do with his change of heart. And he vows to leave her in his rearview the minute he takes care of the poltergeist. Then again, vows were never his strong suit.
